Date Set For 2012 Under Armour All-America Lacrosse Classic

Baltimore, Md. — Corrigan Sports Enterprises announced today the seventh annual Under Armour® All-America Lacrosse Classic will take place on Saturday, June 30th at Towson University’s Johnny Unitas Stadium in Towson, Md. Each year only 88 of the nation’s top boys and girls high school seniors earn the sport’s most prestigious honor.

Last year the boys’ South team emerged victorious for the second time in the event’s history by downing the North squad, 11-9. The girls’ North team won 15-10 by outscoring the South 8-3 in the second half.

A full weekend of events will be highlighted by the All-America boys senior showcase live on ESPNU Saturday evening at 8 p.m. The girls will face off at 5 p.m.

The senior All-Americans are selected by a panel of lacrosse experts at Inside Lacrosse Magazine. The year-long process includes input from college and high school coaches from across the country as well as nominations from the general public. Seniors can be nominated by anyone on the event’s website: www.underarmourlacrosse.com.

Earning the Under Armour All-America status as a senior in high school has traditionally been an indicator of future success at the collegiate level. The 2011 USILA All-America list consisted of 21 men’s Under Armour All-America alums. On the women’s side 25 former UA All-Americans competed in the Div. I national championship game between the University of Maryland and Northwestern.

The weekend will once again include a ten-region underclassmen event with boys and girls All-Star teams from Baltimore, Long Island, Midwest, New England, New Jersey, Philadelphia, South, Upstate NY and Washington, D.C. and West. The three-day underclassmen tournament (June 29th – July 1st) will feature the top national lacrosse players from the graduating classes of 2013, 2014 and 2015.

The Underclassmen tournament has emerged as the top summer recruiting tournament for college coaches. Underclassmen tryout dates for each region will be announced next month.
